Write & Wrong - 9781449626815

This plastic-spiral-bound workbook for students in criminal justice contains hands-on exercises and reference guides. Independent of any specific textbook, the workbook walks through the entire research and writing process, with instructions on how to find discipline-specific databases, how to evaluate sources, how to write coherent paragraphs, how to organize a research paper, and how to use APA citation. The workbook also covers common grammar and punctuation errors. Many exercises ask students to identify errors in examples; all of the examples and exercises come from the field of criminal justice. The workbook includes numerous classroom handouts that students can use for reference. A separate instructor's manual for this workbook is also available, offering lesson plans, lecture slides, in-class exercises, a midterm exam, and grading rubrics. The authors are affiliated with the School of Criminal Justice at the University of Baltimore. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
